Single Serving Broccoli and Parmesan Pasta Recipe

My flatmate comes home and sees what I'm up to in the kitchen. "Back on the broccoli and pasta, I see?"

Indeed, it was round two of the Broccoli Pasta Recipe. Based on what was learned before, I decided upon some changes. First, the skillet frying was not needed -- we could just boil the pasta and broccoli together till done. Next, we'd make an actual cheese sauce for this.

Make some white sauce or heat some up: add the parmesan and pepper to taste, stir thoroughly.

For the pasta and broccoli:

Salt up some water and get it boiling. Add 1/2 cup elbow macaroni, let it cook for about 4 minutes, then add to the same pot 3/4 cup broccoli florets and let them cook together till the pasta is done. Drain.

Then mix together the noodles, broccoli and sauce. And that's it.

This was so much better than the last recipe, and it didn't even seem to need the garlic anymore.

Ingredient Warning

Some of these recipes were created in the UK; the rest were created in the US. This sometimes causes discrepancies in the qualities of ingredients (e.g. the cayenne pepper sold in the UK is milder than the US variety) or in portions (e.g. tuna sold in 6-ounce cans versus 5-ounce cans.) Posts tagged "Scotland" are UK-created recipes.
